A good source of HV wire is silicone test lead wire, available from
MCMelectronics.com.  It's about 1/8 in diameter, comes in red and
black, is extremely flexible, and is rated at 10kV.

Ive been using the CDE 381 LX series for decades on customers and mine but the latest 381LR series has higher ripple current specs and is cheaper as almost all cap R&D is on that style these days and zero on axial which is steadily going away.

>> I am going to replace the power supply electrolytics in a National NCL-2000 soon.  The amplifier is in cherry condition and I would like to recap it as close to original as possible.  Are there direct replacement capacitors available or will I have to get capacitors that are a different physical size?  Is there any other updates or changes that I should make?
